About Potassium Laurate

Potassium Laurate is primarily the potassium salt of lauric acid.[1] The solubility and charge state of Potassium Laurate vary depending on the components forming the salt and the formulation's acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
